Topic: Rear defogger (Read 5426 times)

I got a defogger off eBay that the guy insists is for a 69 Camaro Coupe. The defogger does not even come close to a fitting the sheet metal holes. Here's the part # off the blower houseing P/N 3023590-2-. the separator plate # is 9843811, the grill is 9884678 with an additional # under that one of 9624516. I've looked but have not found what the part # fits. Is there a listing of old part #'s somewhere?Thanks in advance for any info. Joe

Thanks for the info guys...my defogger looks nothing like the photo. I guess it's going back on eBay and the hunt is on for the right one. I did get the correct switch from the deal...at least! Mark, you got the part # for the right one? Just so I can ask the question if I find one.Thanks again, Joe

The blower in my '69 RW defogger has an insulation pad between the blower and the package tray sheet metal, contoured to the shape of the blower, and reinforced with a wire mesh as shown. It appears to be original.

Were these insulated pads commonly used or installed originally?

What's your build date? My 02D '69 has never been touched, and doesn't have the insulator; maybe a running change?

Good point - I thought about this just after I posted. It's a Norwood 05A (1st week of May) car.

Does anyone else have a mid to late build ’69 with the original RW defog, that may include the installation pad I've show above in this topic? If so, what is your build date?

Maybe someone has a late ’69 revision Chevrolet Dealer service parts book that may show the insulation pad and list a part number?

Since the blower was installed in the “body shell” in the Fisher Body Plant at Norwood, the “C50” Rear Window Defog contents are not shown in the Chevrolet Assembly Plant AIM. Only the dash switch is illustrated on page 193.

As Ed noted from the 9/1968 edition parts manual, the gasket #3015053 was called out for 69 All except Corvair, and gasket #3929038 for the 68-69 Camaro convertible. Its interesting that JohnZ and GordonOne 02D build cars did not have the gasket. I wonder it did not make into the production assembly until mid year, or if the gasket was only issued as part of a service parts package?

I hope to hear back from others with original RWD, and what their build date and plant is.
